"The Decision 2012 line hits a bunch of points of interest for us here at BOOM! Education," marketing director Chip Mosher told Robot 6. "Civic duty. Getting new comic readers.

"We've always wanted to do more topical/current events/bio-comics, and this just seemed like the right idea at the right time for us. Voting is important. Being educated on the issues and the candidates is important. Using comics as an educational tool is something that doesn't happen enough.

"People really take voting in this country for granted. There is a ton of cynicism in this country about voting.

"You know, I went to Cuba in the mid-'90s and I can't tell you how much you appreciate what you have at home once you go somewhere where people don't have the right to vote for their leaders, or the freedom to do and say what they want. That was a real eye-opener for me. So if this series gets one person involved in the political process and voting, or gets a child interested in civic discourse, that's a win for us."

Mosher also said that he hoped the project would attract new readers who are interested in politics to comics.
